I have called the city to fix this problem. The result was two men, two trucks and removal of sand and rocks from around the opening of the drain. No real resolution. I am hoping that this time some real cleaning will be done inside the drain. In the middle of the night when it was raining furiously, water was so backed up that it was draining into the opening across the street on the Stonewall side of one of the two clogged drains.

7/11/2012 – Thank you so much for sharing your very important concern with the City of Richmond government. This situation with basin backingup and flooding street has been formally reported to Richmond Stormwater Management (Request #20020852253 ) so that proper inspection and handling can take place accordingly. Because of time that may be involved with this request, updates or follow up can be conducted by dialing the Richmond Customer Care Center at 804-646-7000 and referring to Request #20020852253 – rtt

This problem is fixed. The city workers came out and gave this drain a good internal cleaning from both 31st Street and Stonewall Ave. openings and after the couple of torrential rains we've have lately, the drain did exactly that: drained and with no standing water.
